He hurt his team more then helped it and only stayed on the Hawks as long as he did because the Wirtz's took him under their wing during the whole rehabilitation that didn't stick. I just think putting him on the list makes a mockery of it. I kinda felt the same way when i saw Devin Hester on some people's lists

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 28, 2008 -> 10:00 AM) A must read for anyone who likes the Big Hurt. Look two posts up haha

Gas has dropped roughly 7 dollars since last thursday to 128/barrel yet prices are still going up...

http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3413940 Nice write-up by ESPN the magazine for Frank's 40th birthday. : Big Hurt :

Hottest chick, tv sitcom, best beer would all be good choices. What could also be kind of fun would be a "Who would win in a fight" tournament (Superman, Chuck Norris, Jack Bauer, Bill Brasky, Wolverine, Pablo Ozuna, The Ninja Turtles, etc...)

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 23, 2008 -> 11:18 AM) welsh corgis. Cardigan or Pembroke? I personally like the ones without tails (Cardigan?) ps. it took me about 5 tries to spell Cardigan right, i kept spelling it Caridan or Caridgan or some other variation

5 years ago I might be more willing to lend credence to an article like that. Now, with all the testing and public reaction I suspect there are very, very few players at the MLB level who are on anything right now.

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ May 23, 2008 -> 11:01 AM) So watched the CL Final? I only saw the penalty shootout, and it was basically the perfect one for me. Ronaldo missing with his stupid stutter step run - up, John Terry missing to win the game, and then Chelsea not winning. I root for Liverpool so i didnt care too much who won. I was pleased to see an entertaining game. Drogba's slap in ET was beyond dumb. I felt bad for John Terry, wish it was someone else who missed that. And they gotta do something about Ronaldo's PKs, that has to be (or should be) illegal.

Damn you Kevin Bacon!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:50 AM) He is. It's just that I doubt the public even realizes that he plays in Europe right now. I wouldnt call him a big name as far as on the world stage goes, but he is a recognizeable name there at least. And, as far as the MLS is considered he will be a big name in that league too.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 22, 2008 -> 01:33 PM) I made a bet with someone at work that Hamilton wouldn't get to 110 RBIs. I think the Texas summer takes it out of him, and he falls off pretty big. Thoughts? Hope it was a small bet. At the rate he's going he'll easily surpass 110. Of course, if the injury bug strikes you never know. I dont think it would be anything but that (injuries) which keepis him from 110 RBI.

Byrd only with 55 pitches through 5...way to work the count everyone

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 21, 2008 -> 12:52 PM) Pretty solid list so far. I at least considered most of these players. I considered Halas, but more for coaching and owning. If we had a Chicago Sports legend list, I'd consider him for the top spot. I thinkn Big Ed was too low, but he's usually forgotten anyways. I debated putting Cicotte on my list but totally forgot about Walsh.

QUOTE (jenks45monster @ May 21, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) I'm not much of a draft guru so I have come to all draft knowledgeable SoxTalk members with some questions I have for the '08 draft. My question is: why does it seem the Sox have little interest in Justin Smoak out of South Carolina? In a few mock drafts I have seen, they have the Sox taking Gordon Beckham. It just doesn't make as much sense to me to take a SS, even if O-Cab and Uribe left after this season. They have Ramirez, Ozuna, Richar, Getz (if he is ready), free agency, and later rounds in the draft. Smoak reminds me so much of Mark Teixeira and someone like that is hard to pass up. Power-hitting switch-hitters are very rare. With Thome probably retiring after the '09 season it makes sense to take a 1B and put him at 1B in '10 and Konerko to DH. Who do you all think is the best option in the draft for the Sox? Toolsy shortstops like Beckham are much, much, much rarer than a 1B who projects like Smoak. Keep in mind a lot of 1B can start off as 3B, catchers, or corner outfielders and end up at 1B too. Basically, if confronted with a scenario where they are the 2 best players left on the board, you should take Beckham b/c SS like him are much harder to find than 1B like Smoak. Also, when drafting, our current situation at the respective positions (or any position for the matter) should rarely affect a draft choice. This isnt like the NFL/NBA draft.

HR # 519 , RBI # 1699 last night

QUOTE (dasox24 @ May 21, 2008 -> 01:40 AM) In light of recent news, dude is probably 24 years old... Thought the same thing when i read that....this sucks.

Dan Morgan retired yesterday. if not for the concussions/injuries he was plagued with all his career he could have developed into quite the NFL linebacker.

I just noticed Frank is getting real close to some more major milestones 2 RBI from 1700 8 2B from 500 60 hits from 2500 I think he's close to some walk and run numbers too

Good for him...kid battled cancer just a couple years back. I dont care if you hate the Red Sox or not, this is a good story :

Born in upstate new york, lived several years in Stuttgart Germany, back in upstate new york since. Just finished school a year ago, so not sure where i'm gonna end up
